my commentary on poetary.
A rhyming poem I write against my contemporary pretensions. Critics, come and bite to pieces my good intentions.
I try, for they tell me I must, to immortalize the earthy dust, poverty, homeless children, human emotion. Hell, write about a sun-tan lotion.
About its sacrifice for beauty as it clings to the goddess' skin. Doing its faithful duty because of the Goodness within.
Or anything representational or maybe sensational. Anything that will sell or just go down well
with the sensitive classes offering new insights, with the teeming masses maybe, tickling their sides
or anything that I feel amused about or something I can find a muse about but I do not feel anything and I do not find anything
I have no muse. I have no use for a muse.
What stayed with you?
A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.

5/5 great stuff check out the play of words, and emotions.
I have use for a muse ment I have use for emotion I have use for a desert tent I have use for skin care lotion What I have no use for is despair the urge to cry out "Nothing there" To beat breast and tear out hair to be deadbeat loser extrordinaire I have no use for I have no use for all to gain and nothing to lose, for I have a taste for merriment although I'm verbally incontinent 0KB
Well said fred For a while I thought that this was a piece so well crafted that it was difficult to write anything to kinda take the shine of it! But must I say that you've fared well to the challenge. Hoping you will provide more glimpses of your -uh - brilliance take care
Great mind..........
